subject: Articles And Seo [print this page] One of the basics about Search Engine Optimization is not your web design it is also writing articles & getting a back link to your web-site, I would say this is one the most important things you can do for your web-site. Not only do you get a back link to your web-site, in case you write a quality article, you will get traffic from your article which can make your web-site successful.
Their is a sizable debate about writing duplicate content is that google do not count your back link as a vote, this is not true. Although distinctive content will score better & hold your back link in higher regard, duplicate content will still score with google. The bots will find the duplicate content page & not index it for googles purposes. Google need to retrieve the most relevant results for their customers searches, so they do not to give them the same article 100 times if it is been posted on 100 different article sites, but your back link will still count.
Some article sites look down on duplicate content & may ban the user as some view this as spam, but most won't ban you because as long as it is your article, they see no harm in posting your article on their web-site, unless you are posting the same article on the same article web-site, then they may even see this as an issue.
Personally I see nothing wrong with posting your article on plenty of sites as you ment the world to read your article, Their is nothing wrong with publishing your article to a UK web-site, then a US web-site etc to get your point across in my view.
In case you need all of your articles to be posted on different articles sites & not go through the hassel of web-sites flagging you for duplicate content, I will show you what you can do. First off, you can alter the title of your article so it is slightly different on each web-site, but make positive it is still relevant to your article of work. You ought to also add a few lines of text in your article for each web-site, a sentence placed somewhere at the beginning, middle & the finish, also delete some text . Of work make positive your article still makes sense as their is no point in having a article that means nothing.
Another way is to read your article & rewrite parts of it & put some more headings in the body of your article. These steps may take you longer to get your articles across, but this is the best way to go in case you need no hassels from the article sites who frown if your article is also written elsewhere.
